Victor: The Wild Child of Aveyron
%C0 At the end of the 18th century, a child about ten years old was found wandering in the forests of Aveyron. Wild, unable to speak, living like an animal—he fascinated and puzzled the scholars of the time. Dr. Itard undertook to educate him and teach him language. This true story, made famous by François Truffaut’s film, lies at the heart of the production by the theater company Les Voisins Du Dessus.
Object and puppet theater: a sensitive and poetic form
Through objects and puppets, the company brings Victor and those around him to life in a theatrical form that is both playful and profound. A deeply human story that reminds us how much others shape us, just as much as we shape them.
